Pérez Shines in Dominican Heritage Win | MLB News

Eury Pérez delivered a gritty five-inning performance, allowing just one earned run while battling through command issues, helping the Marlins secure a win that boosted their home record to 40-25. Despite throwing only 56 of 100 pitches for strikes, Pérez’s resilience shone as he kept the Nationals in check, continuing his strong stretch since returning from injury. The victory also marked a proud Dominican Heritage Day, with Pérez and star slugger Heriberto Hernández — both born in the Dominican Republic — playing pivotal roles, including Hernández’s clutch homer. The Marlins’ early offense, fueled by key hits and a three-run cushion, gave Pérez the breathing room he needed, even after an unearned run. Manager Clayton McCullough praised Pérez’s ability to grind out tough innings, signaling a promising future for the team’s pitching depth as they push deeper into the season.
